For profit schools and those who profit from them should really be eliminated. It's education!
Well, we can make the one exception for the Clintons who made 65.5 million dollars from for profit education . . . https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/inside-bill-clintons-nearly-18-million-job-as-honorary-chancellor-of-a-for-profit-college/2016/09/05/8496db42-655b-11e6-be4e-23fc4d4d12b4_story.html?utm_term=.e3a9d347529d
Nice one!
Didn't know that Bill Clinton was a candidate for secretary of education.
Didn't know he was a President once either? Didn't have a clue his wife wanted to follow in his steps? Nice one![]()

And then he hired those people who will probably push policies which will make them even richer.

Hey OP, you may not have noticed, but comrade Sanders did not even win the Dem primaries.
Trump won because he wasn't owned by wealthy donors, thanks to his own wealth. Same with those other guys. What matters is what they actually DO.
If you can't wait and see...
Why not move to Cuba, while the party lasts there?

I'm a survivor of parochial schools and I don't want my tax dollars going to support them.
I want world peace.
(You can sympathize with Christians who don't want their tax money to pay for abortions, can't you? :wink
And since no tax payer dollars go to fund abortions, no tax payer dollars should go to fund religious schools.
You meant when? Okay![]()

Charter and parochial are not always the same. I for one welcome the transfer. The public school system in my state is an astounding failure. Charters (many of which are secular) are often the only option middle- and low-middle class parents have to give their children a chance at half-way decent education.
Would you agree that tax-payer dollars should not go to fund religious schools?
